Elo Launches New Entry Level LCD Touchmonitors

New cost-effective LCD touchmonitors for systems integrators and OEMs



April 2006 - Elo TouchSystems, the global leader in touch technology and a business unit of Tyco Electronics, offers a new entry-level LCD touchmonitor as part of its expanding 1000 series. The new 1215L 12" LCD touchmonitor delivers a cost-effective touch solution for systems integrators, resellers and OEMs in the retail and hospitality markets. The family of cost-effective touchmonitors includes 12", 15" and 17" touchmonitors that are space-saving and designed for touch with Elo's proven expertise and reliability built in.

All Elo 1000 series touchmonitors are sealed against dirt, dust and splashes and are styled to be attractive from all angles. The entire family is available with Elo's IntelliTouch surface wave and AccuTouch five-wire resistive touch technologies plus a dual serial/USB touch interface. Worldwide agency approvals cover the entire monitor that is designed, built, serviced and supported by Elo, a single-source supplier. Elo also offers the 3000 and 5000 series of touchmonitors with additional options, features, choice of touch technologies and additional approvals for medical and industrial applications.

"Elo invented touch technology over thirty years ago and has set the global standard in touch ever since," says Ignace Verhamme, Elo product manager Europe. "Using our experience, expertise and ingenuity, we have created our 'designed for touch' product family. Touch technology is built into the 1000 series from the ground up - not added as an afterthought by altering an existing monitor. The new touchmonitor includes a stable base. Controls are placed on the side rather than the front and are locked out for public use. Elo's IntelliTouch surface wave technology offers superior optical clarity and performance that can be used in a variety of environments because it registers input from a finger, gloved hand or soft stylus with a fast and accurate response. Elo's AccuTouch five-wire resistive technology may be activated with fingernail, gloved hand, credit card or any stylus and it keeps working with splashes, food and grease on the touchscreen."

According to Mike Sigona, Elo market manager, "Our new 1000 series of LCD desktop touchmonitors provides a truly economical solution, with Elo's renowned quality for systems integrators, resellers and OEMs. With Elo's portfolio of touchmonitors - the world's largest - both first-time and experienced users can now deploy touch solutions to market more easily and reliably than ever before."
